Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Chapter 72 Sister Feng celebrates her birthday

When Yu Xin came back in the evening, he saw that the dinner table was full of seafood, and Mrs. Xue and others praised him fiercely.

Yu Xin took all the orders and ordered to check after leaving Mrs. Xue's yard.

That batch of overseas goods was not sent by him at all!

Someone sent gifts in his name!

Oh, there are people in this world who don’t even leave their real names when giving gifts, and they just happened to give away a batch of overseas goods!
Not that fake monk, whose head was screwed off and given to him as a ball to play with!

Humph, thought he would explain it to the baby?

impossible!
Since it was given away in his name, why wouldn't he dare to accept it?

……

……

A few days later, Wang Xifeng's birthday arrived. Mrs. Xue took her daughters to the banquet, and Yu Xin personally escorted her all the way on horseback.

Wang Xifeng sent the most respectable old woman around to greet her, and the old woman said to Mrs. Spend the day watching theater, eating and drinking.

Our grandma was thinking about the concubine and the girls, so she posted a message, otherwise it would be just a small birthday, and it would be hard for the concubine and the girls to work so hard."

Xue Baobao, "..."

I'm celebrating my birthday with everyone, but why does this plot always feel so familiar?

When they arrived at the second door, Wang Xifeng, dressed in fine clothes, was greeted by maids and women.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly stopped her from saluting and said with a smile, "The world is big and the birthday is the biggest. There is no reason for you to salute today. It is your sisters who should pay you a birthday."

Xue Baobao and the other three came forward to greet him with smiles and gave them congratulatory gifts.

Wang Xifeng took it personally and said with a smile, "It's just a small birthday, and the labor aunt didn't say anything, but she actually asked the sisters to spend money and really deserve a beating!"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "It was the two sisters who spent the money. I only copied a few volumes of scriptures and just spent a few pieces of paper, but I don't know if I can eat the longevity wine of the second grandma?"

Wang Xifeng held her hand and smiled and said, "You can eat, you can eat. Today, Miss Lin can not only drink wine, but also listen to the opera. I guarantee that Miss Lin will definitely like it."

Xue Baobao asked curiously, "My sister likes it? Could it be that our second grandma is really powerful and invited Jiang Yuhan?"

Wang Xifeng covered her lips and chuckled, "No, your second grandma and I are very embarrassed now in front of Jiang Yuhan!"

Xue Baobao hurriedly asked why, but Wang Xifeng did not tempt her and said with a smile, "Before you left, didn't Baoyu say that he would give the attacker to Jiang Yuhan?

Originally, I just thought it was just a whim. I didn't want him to come back, so I went to beg my wife to let the attacker go.

The wife refused, saying that Xiren was very capable and attentive, and was the first person Baoyu could use.

Baoyu refused to comply. He and his wife fought many famines, and even moved the attacker out of the house directly, not allowing her to appear in front of him again.

The wife was helpless by his troubles, so she had to ask the attacker's eldest brother to take her out.

Originally, this matter should have ended here, but our Second Master Bao was still thinking about Jiang Yuhan's matter, and he came to me several times to beg me to make the decision for Xi Ren.

When I didn't respond, he went to the old lady to ask for help, and the old lady assigned the errand to me."

Wang Xifeng sighed after saying this, "Xi Ren has committed a crime and was kicked out. Although he is somewhat capable, after all, he doesn't look outstanding, and he can't be easily kissed.

Her brother and sister-in-law heard that I was a matchmaker and the old lady gave me a generous reward, so they took the decision and promised the attacker to Jiang Yuhan.

Jiang Yuhan originally treated Xiren very differently because of Baoyu's affection, and Xiren was capable. He didn't know what she had done. Jiang Yuhan originally planned to marry her as his second wife. However, I changed my mind again and actually married her into my wife and became my first wife. She was very grateful to me.

This time I just posted the post with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and I was surprised that he arrived as soon as I invited him."

Xue Baobao gave a thumbs up, "I don't know how capable Xiren is, but Sister Feng is definitely [-]% capable.

Just by talking, he won the favor of the old lady and the gratitude of Jiang Yuhan!
I don't care about the rest. If I want to hear Jiang Yuhan sing next time, I have to invite Sister Feng."

Wang Xifeng laughed and scolded, "We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and my sister's talkativeness has become sharp again. I think it's because my sister is not out of Beijing to take care of her body, but to take care of her words?"

Everyone laughed, and Xue Baobao couldn't help laughing either.

Mother Jia thought about Wang Xifeng's hard work and hoped that Wang Xifeng would have a good day, and all the affairs would be taken care of by Youshi.

Mrs. You had always been on good terms with Wang Xifeng and knew her temperament, so she made the event very lively and festive. Not only did Jiang Yuhan sing in person, but there were also male and female performers who performed various operas and told stories, all having fun.

When Xue Baobao and others arrived, the flower hall was already full of female relatives. Yu Xin greeted Jia Mu and others, then said goodbye and left.

Jia's mother smiled and said, "I really believe that I am a good man. I haven't seen him for a few months, but he has become even more handsome. People fall in love with him just by looking at him."

Mrs. Xue was busy and modest, so Jia Mu ordered the playbill to be brought, and asked Wang Xifeng to order first, and then asked Mrs. Xue to order.

Mrs.

Jia Mu then ordered it herself, and told Baoyu to finish the singing first and order the next play later. She then asked Baoyu why he hadn't come yet.

After Xiren was sent away, Qingwen stepped forward and replied that one of the concubines of King Beijing was gone and Baoyu Dao was gone.

Xue Baoyu suddenly remembered when he heard this. There seemed to be something like this in the original work. On Sister Feng's birthday, Jia Baoyu used the excuse of going to the Prince's Palace in Beijing to offer incense to Jinchuan'er, who died in vain.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were very worried, "They ran away without saying a word. This is a big deal!"

He scolded Qingwen again, "Why didn't you try to persuade me more? Did Xiren work like you in the past?"

Although Qingwen had a violent temper, she did not dare to quarrel with her masters, and her eyes were red with grievance.

Fortunately, the singing started sonorously on the stage, and then the story was revealed, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were still melancholy.They were unhappy, and the girls such as Youshi and Tanchun naturally did not dare to laugh loudly, making the atmosphere tense and depressed.

Xue Baobao curled her lips when she saw it. Even though she felt uncomfortable as an outsider, she could imagine how Wang Xifeng felt as the birthday girl.

Lin Daiyu couldn't see this the most, so she said, "Sister Feng, didn't you say you wanted to watch a hundred plays with me today?"

Wang Xifeng stood up with a smile and said, "That's right. This fool made me forget that he has wronged our Miss Lin. Let's go quickly."

Mother Jia forced a smile and said, "Exactly. I'm afraid you young people don't like to listen to operas, so go out and relax."

Then he said to Mrs. Wang, "Send someone to wait outside. When Baoyu comes back, ask him to come over immediately. He is so indifferent to his sister Feng's birthday. It is in vain that his sister Feng usually loves him."

Xue Baobao is a scumbag. Listening to these words, it sounds like he is taking the opportunity to criticize Lin Daiyu and Wang Xifeng for not having fun when there is no news from Jia Baoyu, but they are not sure.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "My ancestors said that, which makes me ashamed. It's just a small birthday. If our ancestors mobilized people like this, it's because they love me, and everyone is having fun together."

If it were a serious birthday party, people wouldn't scold me for being young and arrogant, they would just scold my ancestors for loving me too much."

Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Knowing that our ancestors love you so much, why wouldn't you come over and offer a toast if you just stand there and talk in vain?"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to toast, and Xue Baobao was sure that it was Jia Mu who was beating Lin Daiyu and Wang Xifeng just now. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was about to speak again, he hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Before going out just now, I heard my elder brother mention it. He said that his subordinates were here to report something, and he said casually that he saw Baoyu's cousin riding out of the city early in the morning.

The eldest brother was still confused and asked if we had remembered the wrong date, as today is not the official day of Sister Feng’s birthday.”

Well, you understand that my sister Feng and Lin should not have fun when your grandson is not around. I will not understand that your grandson clearly knows that today is the birthday of his cousin and cousin-in-law, so he still runs out of the city to play?
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately panicked. She didn't hear any connotation at all, and said anxiously, "Leaving the city? Or riding a horse? Who followed?"

Qingwen was called over again, but she didn't know what she was doing. She was anxious when asked, so she cried, "Old lady, madam, please forgive me, but we are not allowed to be slaves to ask what the second master does.

I didn't hear anything from the second master yesterday, but today I got up before dawn and asked the slaves to find a set of pure clothes to wear. They just said that one of the concubines of King Beijing was missing, and then they go out.

The servant was worried, so she took a look secretly and saw the second master going to the back gate of the garden. Mingyan was waiting there with two horses and went out through the corner gate."

Mother Jia was so angry that she beat her up, "How dare you lie and shirk the blame! King Beijing's concubine is gone, but it's his turn to wear Su Su?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

If Qingwen was really beaten, wouldn't it be her fault?
Xue Baobao did not expect that Jia Mu would act like this. Just as he was about to open his mouth to smooth things over, he heard a shout from outside, "Phoenix is ​​coming, come in quickly!"

It should be Yu Chuan'er's voice.

Sure enough, after a while, Jia Baoyu, dressed in brilliant clothes, appeared in front of everyone, saluted everyone with a smile, and wished Wang Xifeng a birthday.

Jia Mu and others were like a phoenix. They asked if they were hungry, if they were thirsty, and if they had caught wind outside. Finally they found out that Jia Baoyu had not lost a single hair outside. Only then did Jia Mu ask about leaving the city.

Jia Baoyu didn't expect Jia's mother to know that he had left the city. He was stunned for a moment. He was not good at lying and only said that he went to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing.

Mrs. Wang said angrily, "How dare you lie! The whole family is scared because of you! You are just fooling around outside, and you dare to ride out of the city! If this happens, how will I survive!"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke. Mrs. Xue quickly advised, "Sister, don't worry too much. Isn't Baoyu back safely?

When the brothers grew up, it was okay to go out occasionally. When Pan'er was as old as Baoyu, she went to Yangzhou alone to run errands! "

What Mrs. Xue was talking about was exactly what happened three years ago when Xue Pan and Xue Baobao went to Yangzhou to ask Lin Ruhai to clear things up on their behalf.

Jia Baoyu was immediately interested when he heard this, "Auntie is telling the truth. Did my second cousin go out alone on business when he was 14 years old?"

Just as Mrs. Xue was about to speak, Mrs. Wang said in a serious tone, "How dare you ask! How can a family like ours be comparable to a merchant? Why do we need you to do any errands at such a young age?"

Mrs. Xue choked, and her cheeks suddenly became hot.

Xue Baobao shook his fan, and his round almond-shaped eyes turned into two crescent moons when he smiled, "I still don't know who cousin Baoyu is wearing mourning for!
Cousin Baoyu, I'm almost dying of curiosity. Just tell us. Someone worthy of cousin Baoyu leaving the city early in the morning must be a peerless beauty, right? "

More than a year later, Xue Baobao has begun to show her beautiful appearance as a girl. Jia Baoyu has already caught a glimpse of it, and she is very drunk. She is only afraid of Xue Baobao's power, and does not dare to stare blatantly, let alone speak frivolously.

Seeing Xue Baobao smiling sweetly and brightly at me now, he opened his mouth subconsciously, "But she is not a peerless beauty. It turns out that she is Jin Chuaner who is beside my mother. She still has some unresolved feelings for me, so she went to pay her respects. That’s all.”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Daiyu snorted coldly, and Mrs. Wang's expression changed drastically.

At first, Jin Chuan teased Jia Baoyu while she was sleeping. She was annoyed that Jin Chuan had seduced Baoyu, so she slapped her and drove her out. Who knew that Jin Chuan had a fierce temper and actually threw herself into a well.

She was already guilty of Jin Chuan's death, and now her son said in front of everyone that he went to pay homage. Doesn't it mean that she was not punished correctly and that Jin Chuan's life was in vain?

Xue Baobao asked deliberately, "Jinchuan'er? I remember she was the eldest maid next to my aunt. She was extremely smart and looked very strong. I've only been gone for more than a year, why is she gone? But she is What’s the reason?”

Jia Mu was also displeased, but she didn't want to embarrass Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu in public, so she hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Today is Feng Yatou's birthday, so there is no need to talk about these distracting gossips, lest we call us birthday stars." The public is not happy."

He also deliberately scolded Jia Baoyu and said, "Don't act so recklessly in the future, otherwise when the master comes home, I will tell him to beat you!"

Jia Baoyu only agreed, and everyone continued to listen to the play.

Xue Baobao peeled off a grape and brought it to Mrs. I don’t even have time to eat.”

Mrs. Xue's face turned purple, she opened her mouth to eat the grapes, and forced a smile.

Lin Daiyu followed suit and forked a piece of honeydew melon to Mrs. Not bad."

Madam, even if you are not as good as Mrs. Wang in terms of status, your son is more promising than her son!
As expected, Mrs. Xue relaxed her brows, took a bite, and nodded, "Yes, it's not bad."

Zhen Yinglian directly picked up the small plate and said with a smile, "Madam thinks it's good, so I'll take a few more bites. Yesterday, my eldest brother said that my wife had a hard summer, but she has reduced it recently!"

Well, the son is not only promising, but also filial. How can he compare with the status of the second lady who is not allowed to receive titles from the Duke's palace?
Wang Xifeng cheered and said with a smile, "I have tasted the seafood that my eldest cousin gave to my aunt as a filial gift. It is much better than what I bought from outside. Second Master Lian and Niuniu couldn't stop eating it. They said it was so fresh." Incredible.

I didn’t expect that my eldest cousin actually honored my aunt’s honeydew melon. Aunt, let me be fair, this is such a good thing. It’s only fun if everyone eats it together. What’s the point of eating it alone?It would be serious to send some over tomorrow so that the old lady and I can try it! "

I’ll add another update tonight, little cuties, help me collect some~
